Will the wandering magnetic North Pole create crazy superstorms?
A sensational article at Salem-News.com notes that the Earth's magnetic poles are moving more rapidly than ever before, and argues that this may increase the likelihood of devastating superstorms and tubocharged tsunamis -- and in general cause life-threatening havoc with the world's weather.
"When the field shifts, when it fluctuates, when it goes into flux and begins to become unstable anything can happen. And what normally happens is that all hell breaks loose," the article claims.
Poppycock, say the best scienti

Despite this blame on the pole shift for everything I still remember BP, the Gulf Stream, what I feel was orders from the Rothschild Family to carry this out, and that Italian Physicist who did the math and determined that BP was responsible for the stalling of the Gulf Stream.
That would certainly not help things at all, would it. That would amp up a pole reversal and any ideas of superstorms pretty swiftly.

And those massive superstorms themselves? They're definitely a possibility, albeit not connected to the magnetic pole ideas. In fact, one such event struck California in 1861, said Dr. Marty Ralph, Chief of the Water Cycle Branch at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Earth System Research Laboratory. "Local observers called it a 300-mile-long inland sea," Ralph told FoxNews.com. The event occurred, he believes, when a series of phenomena called atmospheric rivers (www.esrl.noaa.gov...) stalled over California. These rivers -- narrow regions of the atmosphere that move the lion's share of the world's water vapor through the atmosphere -- are quite real, and they're quite astounding. They can stretch thousands of miles, for one thing, and move vast amounts of water, sometimes with winds of hurricane force, but focused a few thousand feet above the earth’s surface. "A typical river carries five-to-ten times the amount of water vapor than the Mississippi river carries as liquid, on average," and a big one can carry fifty times, he added. "Most flooding events in the major rivers on the West Coast are a result of atmospheric rivers creating copious rainfall," Ralph said.

For a 'normal' non-event (that I keep reading on this forum by a select few) it sure is causing a lot of talk, worry and speculation behind the scenes and onto MSM, eh?

Fear sells and the roller coaster of fear very much works to the favor of a corrupt political and corporate establishment as people's focus shifts from one drama filled and fear inspired moment to another, like a bouncing ball that extolls you to follow along to a song on a childrens show.
The truth is that science likely has no way to predict the outcome of such events having nothing to establish a precedent with from similiar past occurences.
Living on the coast in the very flat state of Florida I sometimes must I should get an oxygen tank and life raft to keep handy to make my way to the top of a 500 foot wave, and then chuckle at the notion thinking of all the massive high rises and homes displaced from their foundations crashing through the water at the same time.
Such are the idle musings fear can give inspiration too.
Fear sells for that very reason.

I don't know that any one could rightfully call it a non event... A pole shift that is... But yes, it is normal. Or perhaps, natural is a better term for it. It is a part of nature. It happens on average every 250,000 years, I believe. Thought the last one happened about 700 some on thousand years ago... So the earth is long over due.
Do I know the kind of effect it would have? No. I do know that life has managed to survive the last time... If and when it does happen, it will be the first time that it happened with people on this earth...
I do like to think that if "lesser" and not as intelligent life forms were able to survive, that humans would be able to as well... But who is to say that it would not bring death to all kinds of life forms in mass numbers or even in small numbers?
I just don't know. Normal, yes.... Non event.... I doubt it...

We must be vigilant.
We must unite against the New World Order and least be mentally prepared for the planned disasters they have carried out and continue to carry out on the rest of us.

i think it has already started trouble.. here in eastern north carolina we have had the longest winter in history. it started being really cold in early october including above avg snowfall.. there basically wasn;t a Fall season this year straicht from summer to winter.
i burned thru twice as much firewood than previous year and it is still cold here. 40 in day 30 at night. typically 50's in day 40's at night.. much worse than early 90's.. all the old people who grew up here agree that the weather has been really sever this winter.. i should have mover further south or will soon. not that it has been record cold day by day, but has been really colder than norm for longer than norm. usually landscaping has bloomed this time of year, still hasn't..
look at mexico's cold freeze this year, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.. without a doubt!!

Also, don't pole shifts take 5000 years to complete? Read that somewhere...

No. No, it will not. See Bad Astronomy's complete refutation of this nonsense..
Now can we please move this crap to the Hoax forum where it belongs? (Heck, can we just get a "Silly and Wrong" forum?)
